Our Language Arts curriculum will cover a wide variety of topics. We will do the majority of our learning through novels such as Wonder and A Long Walk To Water. We will have a strong spelling curriculum that focuses on the concepts to apply spelling skills to all words along with learning roots. As always, we will focus on our writing with the parts of speech and structure throughout the year.
